For the case of senators and reps, where there is a choice between a deep RINO incumbent who has a record of siding with the Dems on important votes, versus a Dem, I would vote third party, just to eliminate the incumbent RINO.

For President, the time for selecting the ideal candidates was the primary. We didn't, mainly because no real candidate was perfect enough to satisfy the SoCons. Romney is what we have. We'll try harder next time.

At best, this argument ONLY applies to the genuine swing states.

If 100% of FREEPERs voted for Virgil Goode in over 40 states, it would have absolutely 0 effect on the electoral outcome of this election. Romney would still take the red states; Obama would still take the blue states.

What's "funny" is that so many FREEPERs wax utilitarian with their "anybody but Obama" rhetoric, but won't apply the same political philosophy to the genuine clear blue and clear red states.
